Electric Guitar Design

History
George Beauchamp invented the electric guitar or some may call the lap steel guitar. Initially, guitars electrical consisted primarily of hollow acoustic archtop to which electromagnetic transducers had been placed.
The early years

Electric guitars were originally designed for a variety of luthiers, electronics hobbyists, and manufacturers of instruments, in various combinations. Some of the earliest electric guitars, then adapted especially hollow body acoustic instruments, used tungsten pickups and were manufactured in the 1930s by Rickenbacker. In 1935, a Soviet scientist work separately from their Western counterparts was known to have produced an electric guitar guitar Russia called "electromagnetic Kuznetsov." Was exhibited at a technology exhibit in Moscow, but development was halted since the Stalin regime was hostile to the guitar music quote [edit].
At least one company, Audiovox, built and may have provided a solid body electric as soon as mid-1930. Rickenbach, Rickenbacker offered later written an aluminum smelter electric guitar, nicknamed the frying pan or Pancake Guitar, beginning in 1933.
Another early solid body electric guitar was designed and built by musician and inventor Les Paul in the 1940s, after working hours in the Epiphone factory. His record of guitar (so called because it consisted a simple 4×4 wood post with a neck attached to it and homemade pickups and hardware, with two detachable halves Swedish hollow body attached to the sides for appearance only) was patented and is often considered the first of its kind, although it shares nothing in the design of the hardware or the solid body Les Paul "Gibson sold.

In 1950 and 1951, electronics and instrument amplifier maker Leo Fender through his company, designed the first commercially successful electric guitar solid body with a single magnetic pickup, which was initially named the "Esquire." The two pickup version of Esquire magazine was called the "body broadcasting. "bolt-on neck was consistent with Leo Fender's belief that the instrument's design should be modular to allow cost-effective and coherence manufacturing and assembly, as well as simple repair or replacement.
In 1954, Fender introduced the Fender Stratocaster, or "Start." It positioned as a deluxe model and offered various product improvements and innovations on the Telecaster. These innovations included an ash or alder body design of double cutaway for mounting plates with an integrated vibrato mechanism (called a synchronized tremolo for Fender, thus beginning a confusion of terms that still continues) three single-coil pickups, and the contours of the body comfort. Leo Fender is also credited with developing the first commercially successful electric bass called the Fender Precision Bass, introduced in 1951.
Gibson

Gibson, like many guitar manufacturers, had offered long semi-acoustic guitars with pickups, and previously rejected Les Paul and his "record" of electricity in the 1940s. In an apparent response to the Telecaster, Gibson introduced the first Gibson Les Paul solid body guitar in 1952 (despite the Les Paul was born in fact only towards the end of the design process for tuning Fine design experts and the almost complete for marketing approval). Les Paul Features include a solid mahogany body with maple top cut (much like a violin and former Gibson archtop hollow body electric guitars) and contrasting edge binding, two single-coil "soapbar" pickups, a 24 "mahogany neck with traditional stuck-scale" adjustment "of the neck joint binding on the edges of the fingerboard, and an inclination Head-to-back three machine heads (tuners) to one side. Early models had a combination bridge and trapezoid design of the drain pipe, which event was designed by Les Paul himself, but was largely rejected and abandoned after the first year. Gibson then developed the Bridge Tune-o-matic and tailpiece separate stop, adjustable design that has endured no vibrato. In 1957, Gibson had made the final major change to the Les Paul as we know it today – the humbucking pickup, or humbucker. The humbucker, invented by Seth Lover, was a dual coil pickup had two windings connected out of phase and reverse wound, In order to cancel the 60-cycle hum associated with single coil pickups, as a byproduct, however, also produces a distinctive "softer" tone that attracts many guitarists. The more traditionally designed with a style solid-body Gibson instruments were a contrast to modular designs Leo Fender the most notable distinguishing feature is the method of attachment of the neck and neck level (24.75 Gibson, Fender-25.5 "). Each design has its own merits. To date, the basic design of many-body electric guitar sound available today are derived from the original designs – the Telecaster, Stratocaster and the Les Paul.
Vox
In 1962 Vox introduced the pentagonal Phantom guitar, originally made in England, but soon after made by EKO of Italy. Then followed a years later by the teardrop-shaped Mark VI, the prototype was used by Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. Vox guitars also experimented with onboard effects and electronics. The tear won an award for its design. In the mid-1960s, as the sound of electric 12-string guitar became popular, Vox introduced the Phantom XII and Mark XII 12 string electric guitars. Vox produced many more traditional 6 and 12 string electric guitars in both England and Italy.
GuitarOrgan
In 1966, Vox introduced the revolutionary, but a problem GuitarOrgan, a phantom guitar electronics VI of internal organs. mechanism of the activation required a plectrum especially on cable that completed the circuit connections to each fret, giving rise to a very large and unwieldy neck. John Lennon was given in an attempt to ensure support, although this was never removed. According to Up-tight: The Velvet Underground Story, Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones also tried one, when asked about The Velvet if "worked", his answer was negative. The instrument never became popular, but it was a precursor of the modern guitar synthesizer.
Other guitars
Also materials other than wood were used. Travis Bean, and Kremer built guitars with aluminum mast. Danelectro used cardboard bodies. Also body guitars with neoplastic and carbon have been made in the past. The guitar was a guitar design Gittlen made in the early 8o. 1991 saw the introduction of the first guitar Jol Dantzig design design truly viable hybrid-electric acoustic guitar. The instrument, called the duotone, was conceived while he was in Danzig Guitars Hamer. (Dantzig was also the designer of the first string bass 12.) Adapted by players like Ty Tabor, Stone Gossard, Elvis Costello and Jeff Tweedy, the duotone was a complete "Duplex" instrument that can switch between acoustic and electric tones. Recently there have been many entries in the category of hybrids (capable of both acoustic and electric tones), including Taylor's T5, "Michael Kelly Hybrid", the Parker Fly and Crowdster Anderson. In the 90s the band began Neptune build strange looking metal guitar Puente third embedded options. A predecessor of these guitars is the Pencilina. Linda Manzer guitar designed Pikasso with multiple necks.
